Time Management Course: It's Time to Manage Time
As parents (and step-parents like myself, no matter how evil we seem sometimes), it's our responsibility to teach, guide, and correct our children's behavior - all without judgment. We have to make sure that they have the skills to fend for themselves in the world.
Of course, being a time-freak myself, I personally think there is no better skill to teach a child than time management; to be on time and to keep one's commitments. However, I know I sometimes get over-zealous in my time management message delivery... (with the word 'sometimes' being a gross understatement. Translation: I'm a time-nag.)
Here are some suggestions I gathered for my own time-challenged pre-teen. I hope you find them as useful in your family situation as well.
- You Against the Clock: If it's any consolation at all, realize that you, along with just about everyone else on this planet, don't feel there's enough time to do the things YOU want to do. It seems that the Have-To's far out-weigh the Want-To's. This is called LIFE. Accept it!
- Note the Have-To's: Family, School, Personal (eating, sleeping, hygiene)
- Note the Want-To's: Favorite activities and talent development; Free time to watch TV, chat with friends, and do whatever you want to do.
- Plans and Dreams: What do you want to get done today? Where do you want to be 1-5 years from now. Think about the different strategies you'll need to accomplish both short and long-term goals.
- Start With Today: Make a daily schedule to determine how much time you actually have and track how you use it.
- Get a Bigger Picture: Since every day is probably going to be different, you might benefit seeing how your days fit into a weekly schedule. This is the beginning of developing realistic long-term planning and successful implementation.
- First Things First: Tackle the most important things first. When given a deadline, make it your habit to always beat it. For example, if a homework project is due on Thursday, finish it by Wednesday or even earlier if possible.
- Challenges: Identify your top time wasters. Weigh the pros and cons of each and decide which gives you the most benefits at that moment. Sometimes you can - and should - take a break. Only YOU can decide what is best for you.
Time management is all about becoming more responsible for yourself! Say what you are going to do, then make a firm commitment to keeping your word. This is, without a doubt, one the biggest steps to creating a successful life.
